Venue: Exit, Rotterdam (Netherlands)
\nBy: Sabine\u00a0van Gameren<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

\u00a0 The second night of Emergenza in Rotterdam was fortunated to be a very special
\n\u00a0 one. Bands from quite different genres were performing, which made it a great
\n\u00a0 experience for the audience. <\/p>\n\n\n
\nA quite relaxed start was brought by Reflected. The band came all the way from\u00a0Utrecht and maybe that is why they did not bring that much fans with them. Their\u00a0alternative rock did not impress the audience at all. They did not really impress\u00a0me either. The vocals sounded a little monotone and boring. When listening to\u00a0 reflected, you hear a recognizable sound, easy made and over and over again.\ufffd
\nLike a CD on repeat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nSecond band was even more out of inspiration. The band played some covers and\u00a0even the songs they announced as made by themselves sounded like a 75% rip off\u00a0of some well known music. The band chooses to cover Red Hot Chili Peppers and\u00a0it seems like they brought all their friends, which were quite pleased with\u00a0this song.\u00a0\u00a0 New Perspective did do this right; they chose the right song to get people singing\u00a0along. At least that is positive. For the rest of the performance, I can just\u00a0say that I hope the band skips the covers next time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nUnique Statement brought quite some audience as well and this is the first\u00a0and this evening which got my vote this night. The band makes pop rock with\u00a0power! The female vocalist has a powerful voice and sings on such a way that\u00a0she keeps my attention. I did expect some more punk in their music, because\u00a0that would definitely suit the voice of the vocalist as well. I enjoyed watching\u00a0the performance as well. This front woman has\u00a0charisma and shines on stage.\ufffd
\nThey made it to the semifinals and they deserved it well!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nI Wish I Knew was the fourth band and they really got me staring to the stage.
\nMusically they sound like Miranda Sex Garden. Listening to them is like being\u00a0transported to a different world. You forget the world around you and get into\u00a0the music. I recently wrote about Kilt. and I think these bands are comparable,
\nthough I did not expected it to be like this when I was listening to the songs\u00a0on their myspace. This mostly because the quality of the recorded songs is not\u00a0that great, but I hope this band soon makes it to a studio and records these\u00a0beautiful creatures of them. I voted for them, I wonder how they are going to\u00a0do in the semifinals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nA quite drastic change came when the metal core band Menesis entered the stage.
\nIn a few songs their audience created a mosh pit and fans of other bands clearly\u00a0never saw a mosh pit before. That is why this evening was very interesting.Opening different worlds for different people. Their music is mostly rhythmical\u00a0and maybe together with the fact that the grunt parts were not really impressive\u00a0it made me more think of emo core. Thought the band presents the right energy\u00a0on stage and give 100%. And even though the music is definitely not everyone\u00a0his taste, not too many people are leaving. I voted for this band, because they\u00a0did a quite ok show.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nWhere I just mentioned that Menesis opened up worlds, Sodomy & Lust did\u00a0even more. This progressive band shocked everyone with their act. A lot of young girls which came for the pop\/rock\/alternative bands earlier this band were quite\u00a0shocked by the way they dressed. It seems to be easy to mention Marilyn Manson\u00a0as a influence here, because everyone know that he is the master of shocking.\ufffd
\nActually, I was not really that shocked. The band entered the stage and a girl\u00a0came hanging pink boa\u2019s all over the stage. Later on she throws some colorful\u00a0balloons to the audience and walks on the stage as a princess of darkness. Not\u00a0to be afraid of, just to be dark. Musically, I would not say they are the best\u00a0in their genre. I saw better acts than them, but they definitely showed people\u00a0that a band is about more issues besides just playing the tunes. For that reason\u00a0I voted for them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nToo Loud for Granny was there to be a more \u201cnormal\u201d band after the\u00a0more alternative bands. They make some punk music and it seems like they have\u00a0a busload of fans with them. Musically, their music is well thought and the\u00a0songs are very nice arranged. Definitely a band which will make it far in this\u00a0Emergenza contest.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n
\nLast band of the evening is Yokocola. Their music is weird and described as\u00a0underground. I think I have to be in the mood to listen to this, which I actually\u00a0was when listening to them. It is music you just like or hate; no discussion\u00a0about that. You do have to be open and listen it very well to make up your opinion.\ufffd
\nFor me they brought the feeling of being\u00a0somewhere in the UK in a dark and grey
\ncity in a sort of downtown caf\u00e9 listening some music while everyone around\u00a0you is smoking a joint, maybe you even do it yourself. Thinking about the misery\u00a0of life before you have to go home and sleep to make sure you are on time at\u00a0your work the next day when another week of endless routine begins.\ufffd
\nWhen the time comes to vote I hesitated a second, I can\u2019t say why, but\u00a0I voted for them. Unfortunately they did not make it to the Semifinals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
